1. Have some peppermint green tea
and tell me if its worth my while ( :
(And, is it so ugly that I'd rather not experience it firsthand?)

4. Thanks for the advice....
Definitely worth the time, however. You WILL be pissed off; you have been warned!

5. Yes it is extremely maddening!
I have given JK a pass on the IWR; Bush* hoodwinked the Democrats.

7. Something else to piss you off...
http://www.washingtontimes.com/functions/print.php?StoryID=20040518-085538-3851r

<snip>
One former low-intensity warfare specialist at the Pentagon described his visit to the Coalition Provisional Authority in Baghdad's Green Zone as "Alice in Wonderland." "It's hard to get out of it, let alone get into it," he told an audience of strategic experts. "Some of them have never met an Iraqi outside the Green Zone and yet they draft proclamations they have no way of implementing. CPA is part of the problem, not part of the solution."
Some of the other observations from recent visitors to Iraq who have had experience in previous conflicts in the developing world:
•We have outworn our welcome and "we now find ourselves in a hell of a pickle."
•If you don't know where you're going, you're likely to wind up where you don't want to be. Forget about installing a liberal democracy in Baghdad. Such constructs need a lot of fertilizer to take root. We don't have the time.
•There is no way to put a good face on the strategic withdrawal. Civilian heads must roll; generals are tired of taking the fall.

8. I've been pissed since...
...Bush & Cheney & Powell & Rice & Rumsfeld all lied continually for war with Iraq.

9. Is it worth the money?
I have read Clark's book, Bush's Brain, Al Franken, and a few others.

But I am going broke buying all these books. I really want Clinton's book. So with those factors is the book worth the money?

15. Get it-it's a quick read
Or see if your library has it. It's well worth it.
